I’m not here

but I’ll let you enjoy me for a moment
while I figure out what to do

You don’t look like something I should eat
but I’d still like to attack your face

for some reason

Maybe I’m supposed to be here
and you’re not

Position and Hold

I have been waiting most of the day for those flying guys to leave so I can POUNCE

I’m ready – I’m ready – I’m ready!

There is someone staring at me though, I can feel it.

HOLD

HOLD

Okay…let’s do this.

Maclura pomifera

A friend told me I deter spiders.
“Elemol” they said.

I don’t dislike them;
They do me no harm.

But what a strange thing
to tell me after all this time.

This coming from a citrus sinensis.
Flaunting his beautiful color.

In the wind,

Rest

Aloft for great perspective –
Alight for calm feathers.

Long days of survival –
Pesty humans swarm IX XII V.

Discardboard

I don’t think they meant to leave me here.
It will be dark too soon.

Meant for simple storage.
Double wall corrugation!

Much longer waiting and I’ll become a sign.
Ripped and tattooed for coin.

Imminent

Permanently prepared;
Agape to worldly plight.

I am silent
(with proper operation).

I cannot let them see my happiness
when the stall sounds.

Where I’ve been

The primary question.
Forget my solitude here,
why are YOU so dirty?

Worn and unworn.
Abandoned in my worst condition surely
destined for the heap.
